Canyons’ Abbey Weitzeil wasn’t able to replicate her morning swim of 46.47, but she still managed to post the fourth-fastest women’s 100-yard free time in history at the 2016 American Short Course Championships.

Weitzeil posted a 46.52, going out in 21.88 and coming back in 24.64.

This morning, she went out in 22.11 and came back in 24.36. So, she definitely paid the price of going out so fast tonight.

Weitzeil is on fire this weekend in Austin. She already moved to sixth in the world in the 50-meter free with a 24.72 and seventh in the world in the 100-meter free with a 54.00 during the LCM portion of the meet.
